Abortion Consider Killing or Not?
MY QUESTIONI became interested in my topic of abortion because I wanted to learn more about how the government thinks about this whole concept. I think I was interested because if I wanted to research more about the effects of abortion then I would know the outcomes of it. When I became interested with this topic, I thought about my friend who had an abortion a couple years ago. This really got me wanting to learn more about how the abortion process works and how people’s views matter.

It is a fact that every abortion kills an innocent human being. Abortion is process that shows that people are giving people an opportunity to stop pregnancy. It produces the human beings of showing infants. That’s why many women start on birth control to prevent from pregnancy. The definition of abortion is the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in the death of the fetus. However, some people abuse this right and use it as a form of birth control. In developed countries, abortion is legal whereas most developing countries do not encourage and permit abortion. This brings about the differences in safe and unsafe abortions. Abortion has a long history. In the past, it was done using crude tools such as sharpened tools, physical trauma and other traditional methods. Abortion is morally, scientifically, and legally wrong. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest organization church in the world and they openly condemn abortion. Science has proven that a fetus is not a fully grown human; so many people believe killing a fetus is illegal, but some say it is not because it was never alive. There are different ideas and opinions from many different people, so I decide to explore the aspects of abortion.

My initial research question would be why does the government allow women to have an abortion? My supporting questions are do they consider that as killing a human being which results as a murderer? Or do they ever think about other...

...﻿Abortion Should be Legalized
The issue of abortion is very controversial in today's society.
Although many people think it shouldn't be legalized, there are just as many who
think it should. Your opinion rests with you and possibly the values you were
brought up with. Whether you think women should have the right to abortion or
not, you can find support for either side.
Many individuals take the side of anti-abortion or pro-life which means
they don't think women should have the right to abort an unborn child. This is
the con side of legalizing abortion. Some of the pro-life members think that
the reasons women shouldn't be able to abort is that the mother is ending an
unborn child's life and if the mother is old enough to get pregnant they are old
enough to have the child. Some pro-life activists think that even if you have
to put the baby up for adoption later you should still have it. Although some
of the reasoning that pro-life activist use, might seem a little ridiculous at
times many of the activist aren't able to have children or are just trying to
defend a baby that can't defend it self. The pro's of pro-life are that the
baby gets a chance to live and experience life outside of the womb and maybe
someone who is unable to have children will get the chance to be a mother or
father if they...

...Abortion is the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo before viability.[note 1] An abortion can occur spontaneously, in which case it is often called a miscarriage, or it can be purposely induced. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy. After viability, the relevant procedure is referred to as a "late termination of pregnancy".[1][note 1] Modern medicine utilizes medications and surgical procedures for induced abortion.
Abortion, when induced in the developed world in accordance with local law, is among the safest procedures in medicine.[2] Uncomplicated abortions do not cause either long term psychological or physical problems.[3] Unsafe abortions, however, result in approximately 47,000 maternal deaths[3] and 5 million hospital admissions per year globally.[4]
An estimated 44 million abortions are performed globally each year, with slightly under half of those performed unsafely.[5] The number of abortion has stabilized in recent years,[5] having previously spent decades declining as access to family planning education and contraceptive services increased.[6] Forty percent of the world's women have access to legal induced abortions (within gestational limits).[7]
Induced abortion has a long history and...

...Abortion is killing the future
Abortion is a controversial issue affecting our society. At the present time abortions are legal. However, there are groups of people who would like this to change. Popular belief among pro-choice coalitions is that abortion is a matter that should be decided on by the mother; however, abortion in its truest sense is the termination of a human life. As a society we must set clear boundaries about this issue or else we will be ending innocent lives or we will face women having abortion as a substitute for birth control. Both sides provide very strong and debatable opinions, which leads to a frenzy of controversy. Abortion should be illegal because abortions are immoral, they contradict many religious teachings, and abortions are a large health risk to women.
Many moral conflicts exist when dealing with abortion. Abortion is sometimes used as a financial reason, 75% of people say that they just can’t afford a child; others say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, etc. (Abortion as Birth Control 1). On the other hand 50% do not want to be a single parent or/and have problem with their husband/partner (Abortion as Birth Control 1). In the case of Roe v. Wade the court stated, “State laws limiting such access during the second...

...﻿Abortion is the practice of ending a pregnancy by the causing the death of the human fetus. In 1973, abortion was legalized in the United States via the famous court case of Roe vs Wade. Roe was a single and pregnant woman who was fighting the state of Texas where the law stated she was not allowed to get an abortion. Roe won the case and abortion was legalized. Even though millions of abortions have been performed since 1973, the debate over whether it ever should have been legalized is strongly argued by many Americans, as well as people of many other countries and cultures. The beliefs and opinions of these people are generally divided into two groups, those who call themselves pro-choice and those referring to themselves as pro-life. Pro-choice argues that abortion should be legalized without the influence of government or religion. Pro-life believes that unborn babies are human from the moment of conception and, therefore, abortion is immoral and effectively killing innocent human beings. Although each side has valid points to argue, there is the long-term impact for the rights of the mother, the welfare of the child and the impact on society to consider. These factors clearly argue that abortion should remain legal and be determined by the decision of the woman and the woman’s guardian....

...years abortion has been a social, and political debate in the U.S. Abortion continues to create controversy between the states, and a number of human rights groups. This controversy has caused each state to develop their own set of laws regarding the issue, and some have also passed abortion bans throughout the years. By leaving such a big decision up to individual states, women’s fundamental freedoms are denied to them. Denying women the right to control their own bodies is not only unconstitutional, but it also violates the ninth, and fourteenth amendment. Rather than continuing to allow state legislators to have the power to make such decisions, abortion should continue to be legalized on a federal level, and nothing less.
Abortion has been a source of controversy throughout the history of mankind. Methods of abortion have been recorded in early civilizations dating all the way back to the ancient Egyptians. Around the time that the constitution was created, the termination of pregnancy was not only legal in the U.S. but it was openly advertised, and regularly performed. Laws against abortion did not arrive until the mid-1800s. Some of the first abortion laws made in 1820, were created to forbid the procedure after the fourth month of pregnancy. By 1900, doctors and legislators outlawed most abortions in the U.S. Because of these laws, “back...

...PRO Legal Abortion
A woman's right to choose abortion is a "fundamental right" recognized by the US Supreme Court. The landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade was decided on Jan. 22, 1973, and remains the law of the land. [49]
Personhood begins at birth, not at conception. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, not a baby. Personhood at conception is not a proven biological fact.
Fetuses are incapable of feeling pain when an abortion is performed. According to Stuart W. G. Derbyshire, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the University of Birmingham (England), "[n]ot only has the biological development not yet occurred to support pain experience, but the environment after birth, so necessary to the development of pain experience, is also yet to occur." [10]
Access to legal, professionally-performed abortions reduces injury and death caused by unsafe, illegal abortions. The World Health Organization estimated in 2006 that "back-alley" abortions cause 68,000 maternal deaths each year in countries where abortion is not legal. [11]
The anti-abortion position is usually based on religious beliefs and threatens the vital separation of church and state. Religious ideology should not be a foundation for law in the United States.
Modern abortion procedures are safe. The risk of a woman’s death from...

...Before delving deeper into the history or current debates over an issue like abortion, it is important to look simply at the fact of its existence in the United States. According to studies released in 2005 by the Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health (PRCH) and The Guttmacher Institute, there were 1.29 million abortions performed in this country. Research by the same group shows that in 1994, approximately half of all pregnancies in the United States were unintended, with only about half of those actually ending in abortion. In comparison to other countries, the U.S. accounted for three percent of worldwide abortions in 1995 (PRCH and Guttmacher).
With that said, the political history of abortion has been a turbulent one, and the position that the Supreme Court in particular takes on abortion, obviously greatly influences the issue. One could expect the Supreme Court to take a more liberal and “pro-choice” stance on the topic because since Roe v. Wade in 1973, court cases have been progressing towards a more definite right to choose. This can be seen in the cases that followed; Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health (1983), Webster v. Reproduction Health Services (1989), and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). Because the Supreme Court sets precedents about such important issues, their past decisions play a major role in deciding the right choice on the...

...Abortion?
With being a woman come a great responsibility, the responsibility of motherhood. The role women have as mothers in society is substantial and dangerous. The choice of being a mother is not a choice that is in full power of the woman, this choice is shared with men. Throughout history the debate over abortion has not reached a definite decision regarding its legitimacy. The choice in giving birth to a child is no choice for many if not most women in America. The Right to choose to have a child has been taken away from women as individuals and has been placed at the hand of the population at large. Wether abortion is right or wrong it is an option not accessible to many women and therefore deprives them from having a full sense of freedom. Women cannot share the right to choose to give birth or not with a crowd in which most of it’s participants (men) can’t assimilate the responsibility and sacrifice childcare requires. As mothers, women are the only ones to suffer full mental and physical hardship the choice of childbirth brings. If this is the case, how is it that both men and women hold equal rights on the legal standing of abortion? Abortion is a choice, whom only affects women physically and therefore should only be a choice taken by the woman. Besides the physical implications pregnancy brings, the mother as well has a responsibility in the future of that fetus. This is where, the access...
